With the Lakers offering little to stop Portland’s Damian Lillard (36 points) and CJ McCollum (28 points), (Kobe) Bryant provided pointed comments to his teammates about their play in the locker room afterwards, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

Bryant, who posted 10 points on 5-of-9 shooting and five turnovers in 25 minutes through three quarters, became upset both with the Lakers (9-37) for losing their sixth consecutive game and for some on the team smiling after the loss, sources said. Bryant took particular aim at Lakers rookie point guard D’Angelo Russell and second-year forward Julius Randle and even called them out by name, sources said.
